Quick disconnect so it can be taken off the sled for the theft proof feeling. I'll have to check it out again, looked like an add on last time i saw 1. I use the next stage gauge on mine and love it. Cat should team up with him to build their factory stuff. Does so much more than just gps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does so much more than just gps Only problem with next stage is the wires stick out under the gauge and you have to remember to charge it up or it may or may not light up the gauge when you go on your next ride. I use a goggle bag and I dont think it would fit properly with that and I want my garmin to go with my Alterra 600 that I hope to have this coming summer. Probably January the way things are playing out though. Edited February 15, 2022 by ZR6000RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be nice to be able to take it to another machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 i have run a montana for years between all sorts of different sleds. the new overlander 8 inch would be a perfect unit to integrate into any sled. Right now i am running a 7" garmin Nuvi and it's 100x better than my montana was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't run the USB one on my nuvi i have to use the cig lighter usb adapted and the cig plug on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the almost useless cig plug open for other things. Not sure what though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using a Garmin 5" Garmin nuvi for years. Worked just fine for me. Cost to use for my money. The tread is a better value than the Poo gauge being able to use it on multiple different vehicles. That is what is important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp to get birdseye on it I had Lasik surgery and my close vision sucks but I have had no problems seeing the 5" Garmin. The Trail mount moves it further into the dash which is going to be even more of a benefit to me as the further back it is the better I see.

old cat man Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) the chassis still handles good to me save money there and do a n 850 or 900 and reduce price on some 800! New gauge with GPS The new prices are crazy on all sleds imo. Edited February 15, 2022 by old cat man added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Let's add more technology to sleds many of us could give two shits about to keep driving up the price and headaches, expensive and problems it will create down the road. If I were Cat I'd put a big white faced round speedo/tach with a temp and fuel Gauge in it that is accurate and leave the PlayStation to the aftermarket guys. Some of you sound like teenage girls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the guy riding an antique 600 with worn out carbides on well marked trails in his home area. Some of us like to get off the trail and explore new areas. Gps is pretty usefull in those situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some of you pussies can't pull start a 2S sled, wtf are you going to do if it tips over or gets stuck, call AAA with your gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the perfect sled for you. Stripped down, nothing fancy o. It. Just needs a set of good shocks and your ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
